This article aims to contribute to the review of several aspects of the sociolinguistic situation of aboriginal languages in Colombia, including intergenerational transmission, bi/ multilingualism, and the teaching of languages. The article also examines useful strategies for maintaining and revitalizing native languages. This study is carried out within the broader context of the loss of linguistic diversity in the world, Colombian linguistic policy, and the sociolinguistic situation of Colombian languages. The article seeks to present an insight that informs and makes the general public more aware of the importance of these issues.
